The Watcher has some sympathy for McNally, he has played well in most of his appearances for us this season, he never moans, he doesn't have any off field disciplinary problems, he doesn't go off sulking when dropped & he always gives 100%. The Watcher believes that if we had a few more like McNally we wouldn't be in the position we are at the moment.

Now I am not the biggest fan in the world of McNally but what a couple of Richard Craniums we have in Jukes and Cunningham, McNally is a very expierienced full back, he is used to observing the other team attacking and can call defensive directions, he is superb under the high ball and knows all the plays in linking up in attack, and his one on one tackles have been good, on the other hand I cant say that i have been over impressed with Hampshire when he has played Full Back, if he had been any good when he played there earlier on in the season he would have made that position his own, so why on earth is he suddenly deemed good enough for this probably the one of the biggest games in Leigh's 122 year history, must be because he did OK at London, I am the wrong side of 60 but I could have done OK at London at Full Back. I cant see that he is including Hampshire in the squad over McNally to play Brown at Full Back.For the sake of all us fans, I hope the coaches gave got this right, although it fills me with dred even before a ball is kicked.

Also Pellisier must be as sick as a chip, as I said previously in an earlier thread I think we need energy out there on Saturday and I would have run with Hood and Pellisier.

That's it really.

Gutted for Gregg
He's worked hard to get back and didn't deserve to be dropped
Hampshires best games have been on the wing
Then again I wouldn't be surprised to see Gregg play as we could have included brown and Langi etc to throw Catalans off their game plan
We've changed line ups quite a lot this season from the 19 named

I agree Lynda - let's wait and see the 17 tomorrow afternoon.
